Na+ Cl- (sodium chloride) is an example of ___________, which is a bonding of oppositely charged ions (i.e. metals with non-metals)
ionic bonding
-
ionic substances are formed when an atom that loses electrons relatively easily reacts with an atom that has a high affinity for electrons is called an ____
ionic compound
-
The type of bonding where electrons are shared by nuclei in the space between is called ___________ (H-H)
covalent bonding
-
A type of bonding where the electrons cannot be shared equally but cannot be removed is __________ (H+ -- F-)
polar covalent bonding
-
the relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself is called ___________________ (Fr =0.7, F=4.0)
electronegativity
-
a molecule that has a center of positive charge and a center of negative charge is said to have a _____________ (H--F)
dipole moment
-
Atoms in stable compounds will almost always have a ___________ electron configuration. (i.e. All outer orbitals are full!)
noble gas
-
The ______________ is a representation of a molecule that shows how the cadence electrons are arranged among the atoms in the molecule
Lewis Structure
-
Hydrogen forms stable molecules where it shares two electrons. that is, it is following a ________ rule
duet
-
Period 2 non-metals (O, N, F, etc) are stable when they have enough electrons to fill out the outer orbitals (2s, 2p); they follow the _______ rule
octet (need 8 electrons. 2s=2 + 2p=6 = 8)
-
The pair of electrons shared with another molecule are called ________ pairs, while the other pairs of electrons that aren't shared are called lone/unshared pairs.
bonding
-
a __________ bond involves two atoms sharing one electron pair. A _________ bond involves two atoms sharing two pairs of electrons
single; double (also triple bonds)
-
a molecule shows __________ when more than one Lewis structure can be drawn for the molecule.
resonance; this is called a resonance structure
-
the 3-d arrangement of the atoms in a molecule are called ___________
molecular structures
-
some molecules form a ___________, where all atoms are in a line. (180 degree bond)
linear structure
-
a molecular structure where all 4 atoms are in the same plane with 120 degree bond angles is called a ____________
trigonal planar (flat) structure
-
a bent or "v shaped" bond describes the structure of a molecule. this is called the __________
bond angle
-
a type of molecular structure, a ______ has four identical triangular faces along the bond angles.
tetrahedral structure / tetrahedron
-
a model used in predicting the molecular structure (in nonmetals): the structure around around a given atom is determined by minimizing repulsions between electron pairs. (bond & nonbonding pairs of electrons are positioned as far apart as possible)
VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) model
-
molecular structure where one side is different from the other 3 sides is called a _____________
trigonal pyramid
